Prep your popcorn for the European Commission #Fitfor55 press conference: audiovisual.ec.europa.eu/en/

World leaders’ soaring rhetoric on the #climatecrisis was translated into legislative proposals for the first time this week, as the EC laid out a dozen draft laws that will change how Europeans travel, #trade and heat their homes. By Giulia Bedini Kathryn Carlson #regulation

WOW!

We welcome EU Competition's draft #CEEAG. #EUStateAid must complement the #fitfor55 package. The review is on the right track, but some crucial improvements are needed! Our response to the draft EU State Aid Guidelines 👉bit.ly/3ylS691

Today the European Economic and Social Committee is holding a public hearing to discuss #CBAM design and implementation. Sandro, our Director of EHS & Sustainability will present our conditions for support. Find below our initial 4 policy asks.

Executives of 17 European #aluminium companies have written European Commission Valdis Dombrovskis to oppose the proposed 9-month suspension of anti-dumping duties on FRPs. The 🇪🇺 must counter unfair trade practices & provide investment and legal certainty! READ👉bit.ly/3nEDdMw

The European #aluminium industry and its workers strongly oppose a suspension of anti-dumping duties. It would be a disaster for European jobs and the #EUGreenDeal! READ our joint statement with industriAll Europe 👇 bit.ly/3lusL7K EMPL Committee Press EU Social 🇪🇺

In the #EU aluminium sector, electricity prices have gone up +300%, compared to +50% for #aluminium prices. This highlights the need for enhanced carbon leakage protection to navigate the #energyprices crisis. Read our statement and solutions 👉bit.ly/2Xdg7C8

Looking forward to co-hosting EUROPEAN ALUMINIUM’s event on #CBAM with Gerd Götz at #TheAluminiumEffect digital roundtable series. Some great speakers lined up from European Commission Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) IISD @MytilineosSA Inactive and Constellium #AnnaMichelleMEP

#COP26 scorecard nicely put together by Bloomberg Politics & @bloomberggreen . Agreement on article 6 & global #carbon markets stands out…accountability and transparency throughout implementation will be crucial

We submitted our recommendations for an effective, future-proof carbon leakage #CBAM. To achieve sustainable growth, we must have a global level playing field for our industry. Read our conditions for support 👉bit.ly/3jLDoms Watch our video 👉 bit.ly/32ihPnS

A #CBAM without a solution for exports would dramatically harm the European #aluminium value chain. A CBAM on indirect emissions cannot even out the indirect emissions costs 🇪🇺 industry is facing due to the specific electricity market design in Europe 👉bit.ly/3IzMa1T.

ITRE MEPs have elected by acclamation: ➡ Cristian Bușoi as Chair; ➡ ZdzisławKrasnodębski as 1st Vice-Chair; ➡ Morten Helveg as 2nd Vice-Chair; ➡ Patrizia Toia as 3rd Vice-Chair; ➡ Lina Gálvez Muñoz as 4rth Vice-Chair.

Excellent panel discussion yesterday on how to design an effective #CBAM for the 🇪🇺#Aluminium value chain. Full support to a "cautious but ambitious" approach. Ready to work with EU Environment Rapporteur Mohammed Chahim, EU Tax & Customs 🇪🇺 Maria Elena Scoppio & EU Council + @Europe2022FR

So glad to meet again in person EUROPEAN ALUMINIUM members at our annual 2022 Spring meetings & discuss with the full value chain our energy challenges. Encouraging words by Karlis Goldstein CAB Kadri Simson: “There couldn’t be an #energytransition without #Aluminum”

The final CBAM & ETS ENVI reports should ensure that EU MS can protect aluminium smelters against indirect carbon costs as the #CBAM is gradually phased in. A too rapid transition to indirects would mean the end of the entire 🇪🇺 aluminium value chain 👉bit.ly/3stbrob.

Data insights and analysis about why & how a #CBAM covering indirect emissions cannot match the unique #ETS indirect carbon costs we face only in Europe and hurt our #lowcarbon producers and entire value chain. Food for thought ahead of European Parliament plenary vote next week

Tomorrow European Parliament plenary #Fitfor55 vote must reject ENVI Committee Press proposals to include indirect emissions in #CBAM without a proper methodology & support the ITRE Committee Press transitional approaches for their inclusion. Read why here👉 bit.ly/3xmMoWz.

Another smelter bites the dust....and another reason why we need TODAY more than ever effective #carbonleakage measures. Unless Member States make full use of EU #ETS indirect cost compensation, very little production will still be in Europe next winter enrsi.rtvs.sk/articles/news/…
